has settled the snow considerably.
Farmers were very glad to see it, for
the great depth of snow in the sugar

teams. There has been but very
little sugar made yet, and many are
prophesying u small yield; certainly
the season must be short one.

exceptionally fine, both in the selec-

afternoon in order to be present.

more for the health Of the patrons of

small, lean pig instead of the large
fleshy one.

Judge Gus. Cook, Of Houston, IS
making some very effective speeches
against prohibition in different parts
Of the State. The Judge is forci'
BILE speaker, learned man and tow
or of strength for the cause.
So says the Columbus citizen, Its
notions of what constitutes an effect
i've speaker must be rather peculiar
or perhaps it is not posted as to the
Judges ''line Of argument We re-
fer it to the report OF the Judges
speech ut Bolton in another place.
In addition we will state that DIR.
Carroll in his speech at this place
averred that Judge Cook in the
course of recent public deliverance,
stated that no man could be good
Christian and o prohibitionist. The
Doctor said he had the most I'M
questionable proof, which was at any
body's service, that the Judge made
the declaration above stated.

Judge Cook ut Bolton.

GThe following sketch of the speech
of Judge Cook is from the Bolton
Reporter. 1t however was copied in
to the Houston Age, a special organ
of the Judge, without objection, so
there can be no question as to its ac-
curacy.]
This gentleman delivered an anti
prohibition speech at the opera house
in this city last Saturday. 1t was
anti prohibition and no mistake about
it. He did not mince matters at all,
but faced the issues squarely. He
did not say the liquor traffic was
terrible evil, and prohibition was far
worse, but stated most emphatically
that liquor was blessing to the hui
man family and it's use should not
under any circumstances be prohibit
ed. He gave very good report OF
himself, said that he was an old Tex
on, a confederate soldier, that he low
ed God and believed in the Christian
religion, that he WAS temperate in oil
things but whenever he vented q
drink of liquor he drank it, and
whenever he wanted to get drunk he
got drunk. And the last time he got
drunk he had a governor on one side
and an ex-governor on the side Of
him, that he could not speak for their
spiritual condition as it was enough
for him to take care of himself. He
said intoxicating liquors were absoiut-
ly necessary to the welfare OF the
human race, that there is not suf-
fcient alcoholic properties in the food
we eat to supply the demands OF the
human system for stimulants. He
referred to the English, French and
German people who use intoHcants
extravagantly, and that no people on
the face of the earth were equal to
them physically or mentally. He
thought that the prohibitionists We're
very selfish in wanting liquors for
sacrameptal, medical, scientific and
mechanical purposes, but refusing
others the privilege of using them
for such purposes as they desire. He
had nothing to say about prohibition
in Maine, Iowa and Kansas. That if
it suited the people of those States it
WAS all right with him, but he wanted
them to keep it to themselves, as he
did not wantit in Texas. He said that
all the 'isms that curse the land came
from Plymouth Rock and purtanic-
al fanaticism. Said it was mistake
about liquor beng the cause of so
much crime; that no more than three
per cent of all the crimes committed
could be traced directly to it. That
statistics showed the number that
died did not exceed 1900. He said
a good deal more on the question,
but these which we have briefly men
toned are the main points.

We copy the following passage
from the testimony of DR.. G, B
Johnston before the u S. Commits
sioner in the case against the mayor
and other city officials of San An
tonic:
The examination of DR.. Johnston
was then resumed, and most of his
testimony was on cross questioning
and the same as elected on direct ex-
animation yesterday. When the
mayor refused permission to speak
on the plaza, he told him that in an
ticipation of this refusal he had al
ready made arrangements to hold the
meeting on the government lot, the
deputy revenue agent and General
Stanley raising no objection, and ask
ed for policemen to preserve order.
The mayor refused, unless the pro-
hibitionists pay for the police protec-
ton. Witness then asked the mayor
if be wouldn't deputize some of the
members from the prohibition ranks
as special policemen. The mayor re-
piled: mo, sir, 1 will not do it;
and il you think you know more
about the jurisdiction than L do, try
it on, and Ill be id i'll don't break
your meeting up" He further said
the mayor was very drunk at that
time-maudlin drunk, but not so
drunk that he did not know what he
was doing.
